Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Article 51 of the UN Charter preserves "the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs" against a Member, until the Security Council has taken the necessary measures.

Article 25 binds Members to carry out Security Council decisions, Article 12 limits the General Assembly while the Council is dealing with a dispute, and Article 48 concerns action to carry out Council decisions.
